Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.
Sono molto soddisfatto e, quando mi necessiterà, mi avvarrò nuovamente di questo servizio!
